Serie A boss tells Rabiot to 'respect employer' on overseas games
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin addressed concerns over moving league matches abroad, emphasizing the importance of football staying connected to its roots and the community. He warned that "breaking" football's traditions could have severe consequences. Despite widespread opposition, UEFA reluctantly approved two European league matches to be played abroad, citing unclear guidance from FIFA on the matter. FIFA has set up a group to further examine the impact of holding competitive domestic matches overseas.
